Russian Public Opinion, the War in Ukraine, and the Lingering Effects of the Soviet Collapse
Carol Rifelj Lecture Series
Will will draw on research that he has done over the past half decade on the shorter and longer-term consequences of Russia’s painful exit from communism in the early 1990s. He will give particular attention to public opinion in the past several years, including through the fall of 2025, drawing on his own and others’ survey data to trace the influence of the War in Ukraine on Russians’ life satisfaction, their commitment to democratic values, and their attachment to their country.
